     The bibliography of sources below is incomplete and certainly reflects the compiler's interests as well as his ignorance. I have conceived of "chronology" in its broadest sense to include works that could be valuable in fleshing out an historical or cultural milieu. For more contextual information, visit your local university's library website, after having looked through the Library Literacy portion of this website, especially the Key Print/Electronic Resources, Search Strategies, and Art of Browsing sections. I have chosen to give a truncated citation for each work (author, title and date only). Russian titles have been transliterated using the simplified Library of Congress system of transliteration. (For more on Transliteration, see the Transcription/Transliteration pages).

Tips on Finding More Chronologies

• Search Worldcat, RLIN (online union catalogs you may have access to through your library) or your university library catalog's "guided" or "advanced" keyword search using the keywords — (kalendar or khronika) and (pamiatni* or iubileiny* or znamenatel'ny*) — along with the subject words (russia* or soviet* or slavic) [where * equals the truncation symbol used for the particular catalog/database (? is also often used)].
• You can also simply try the subject words — chronology and (russia* or soviet* or slavic)
• For non-Russian chronologies, try subject words — chronology and (country name or city name or region/geographic area name), using truncation symbols where appropriate.
• If your catalog allows for Boolean Searching (and most do), you can simply copy and paste these searches directly into the appropriate search boxes. However, reviewing the Search Strategies portion of this website before engaging in any in-depth research is highly advised.
